Multiple Intimidation and UrFight alumni have been nominated for the 2015 BluegrassMMA Awards, including alums in nearly every category.

BluegrassMMA covers local MMA events in the Ohio Valley region, including Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Western Pennsylvania. One of the best MMA media outlets, they have a huge footprint in the area and employ some of the best MMA journalists.

Intimidation Clothing is pleased to team up with fast-rising, undefeated bantamweight prospect Nathan Maness on the latest addition to Intimidation’s signature shirt program. Maness (5-0 pro), who has fought at weights from 135 to 155lbs, joins a exclusive list of athletes with a signature tee from Intimidation which includes UFC Hall-of-Famer Ken Shamrock, UFC bantamweights Jessica Eye & Jessamyn Duke, Bellator MMA knockout artist Brian Rogers and a variety of UFC veterans and up-and-coming stars.

Nathan “Mayhem” Maness recently improved his undefeated professional MMA record to 5-0 in late March to extend his unblemished record which includes a 10-0 amateur record. A veteran of two formerly-sponsored local MMA promotions by Intimidation, HOOKnSHOOT and HardRock MMA, Maness made his pro debut in July 2013. A product of Team R.O.C. in of Albemarle, North Carolina, Maness trains with UFC vet Rodney Wallace and WSOF vet Jordan Rinaldi. At age 16 Maness and some friends began “putting together little tournaments outside after watching a few UFC events.” Eventually he took his training to the next level and continues to pass each test put before him. In a world full of fighters who will not take on tough tests, Maness is no stranger to the tough fight as his last three opponents have a combined 15-1 pro record in fights outside of against the man known as “Mayhem.”

The Nathan Maness signature t-shirt will be a men’s cut regular fit black shirt made from 4.5 oz combed ringspun 100% cotton which has a super soft feel and is lightweight.

The culmination of sponsoring events across the Midwest and beyond, this weekend once again proved that Intimidation Clothing is indeed the biggest supporter of Local MMA in the industry.

Intimidation was live on hand at TNT Fight Series in Buffalo, and as the New York MMA community continues the fight to get the sport legalized in the state, organizations like TNT and owner Don Lilly are doing all they can to prove that it will be an asset to the economy.

Intimidation was also on hand at IT Fight Series 26 in Columbus, Ohio, with the organization’s debut in the capital city. The night saw a whirlwind of finishes and fans flocking to the Intimidation booth. The fights were fast and furious in the cage and the night ended as Reggie Parks – a fighter that Intimidation has worked with multiple times – took home a split decision victory in the entertaining main event.

Intimidation’s Indiana crew was also busy, covering the Art of War 10 event in Indianapolis. One of the most consistent events in the state, Mad Wolf Promotions continues to put on shows that draw fans, who in turn flock to the Intimidation brand. Intimidation was also a sponsor for EFP’s Caged Madness 29 in Midvale, Ohio, and Hardrock MMA 65 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Looking ahead, Team Intimidation will be on hand at Coveted Fighting Championship 3 in Mentor, Ohio next weekend, and Team Intimidation fighters George Comer and Bryon McCroskey will also be in professional action on the card.

The first weekend of April was busy for Intimidation Clothing, as fighters and events were sponsored all over the country to start a month filled with action.

Multiple fighters were in action at the Midwest Fight Series event in Indianapolis, as Dustin Parrish and Bryant Whitaker both picked up wins on the card. For Parrish (1-0), it was a successful first foray into the pro ranks after a 9-1 amateur career that saw him as one of the most heralded amateurs in the Hoosier State. Parrish (pictured, right) took a split decision victory over Frank Sloan while Bryant Whitaker (4-2) took a second round submission victory over fellow Team Intimidation fighter Kyle Nickle (2-2) at the same MFS events. With the win Whitaker (pictured, left) has won 3 in a row after a 1-2 start to his professional MMA career. Also on the card, Intimidation sponsored fighter Cameron VanCamp (0-0-1) fought to a majority draw against Cody Groves (0-1-1) in his professional debut. In amateur action Chris Tanner improved his record with a first round submission victory and David Dever dropped a TKO loss to David Stephens.

The Intimidation Indiana/Kentucky crew had a busy weekend, first putting together a banner night at Hardrock MMA 64 in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, and then appearing at the POP!CON comic con event in Evansville, Indiana on Saturday. Team Intimidation fighters were in no short supply at the POP!CON event, as Ruben Perez, Ryan Conaway, Markus Hall and Patrick Ruby all made appearances at the Intimidation booth to greet and interact with fans and sign autographs. The Intimidation Michigan crew also had a successful night at the Exiled MMA: Insurgent event in Cedar Springs, Michigan.

The Hardrock MMA 64 event was bittersweet for Team Intimidation, because despite a successful night at the Intimidation booth, the planned professional debut of longtime Team Intimidation fighter Brandon Hurst was scratched at the last minute due to his opponent pulling out of the fight with an injury.

In Washington, sponsored fighter and Bellator MMA veteran Scott Thometz (6-3) dropped a hard fought battle, as he succumbed to a TKO against Jacob Boysen (6-1).

Intimidation Clothing closed out March with one of the busiest months in company history, sponsoring multiple events and fighters in different states. The month began as strongly as any month in company history, with two top-tier MMA promotions – Driven MMA & Colosseum Combat – kicking off the month in style, and ended with Pinnacle FC capping off a great month and with a KO of the Year candidate from Luis “Sapo” Santos at XFCi 3 in Brazil.
